Facebook is hosting a "news event" at its Silicon Valley headquarters Wednesday night, and is largely expected to announce a location-based feature.

The presentation kicks off at 5:00PM Pacific time, and the social-networking site will broadcast the announcement on its new Facebook Live platform.

There are few formal details about what will be announced, besides the rumors about location services. A Facebook spokeswoman said only that "Facebook representatives will provide an update on the service's features and products."

PCMag's news editor, Mark Hachman (@markhachman), will be at Facebook headquarters tonight to cover the event live. It's scheduled to run until 6pm Pacific time, so check back on pcmag.com after that for all the details about Facebook's latest endeavor.
